Climbing

One of the things we're keen on doing is making sure the kids are exposed to lots of physical/active sports. Yesterday biking, today climbing. They really enjoy it, especially with the promise of a visit to the cafe afterwards. I suppose it is about balance ;-)

Then at lunch I had to give a brief presentation to the NZ Mountain Biking Association on a possible web project. Fittingly it was in Victoria Park, the hub of MTB in Christchurch, and it was a stunning beautiful day. To compensate we did the presentation outside in the sun - first time ever I have a attended such a cool, relaxed executive meeting. Bikers eh ;-)

Interestingly, I met another dad with 2 teenage sons who are mad keen downhillers. Each weekend costs around $200+ in broken gear, there are 4 bikes worth close to $20K in total on the back of his car, and there have been 3 broken bones this year.

Ah, maybe I'll take back what I said at the start if the blip.

The kids can sit on the sofa and watch videos from next weekend onwards ;-)

Oh yep, that is Hannah climbing and it's the climbing harness making her bum look so big. But I guess when you are 3 you don't care anyway ;-).
